Frequently asked questions about suspension repair

Why is my steering making noises?

Noises could be from low power steering fluid, worn steering parts, or suspension issues. Have a mechanic check it out to pinpoint the cause.

What is power steering?

Power steering helps you steer with less effort using hydraulic or electric systems, making it easier, especially at lower speeds.

Why is my steering wheel shaking?

A shaking steering wheel might be due to unbalanced tyres, misaligned wheels, or worn suspension parts. Get a mechanic to check it out.

Can I drive a car with a broken suspension?

No, driving with a broken suspension is unsafe. It can lead to poor handling and further vehicle damage. Get it fixed as soon as possible.

How do I check suspension on a used car?

Look for uneven tyre wear, leaks from shock absorbers, and listen for strange noises during a test drive. A professional mechanic should inspect it too.
